Fox 2 Detroit has written an obit for Al Allen when he was with them from 1984 to 2012.

He was a constant presence, bringing viewers traffic and weather reports with a style and sensibility that was uniquely his own.


In 2023, Allen found familiar ground in front of the camera as he and Brandon Hudson took a ride and had candid conversations about his storied history on-air.

Allen was born Andrew Long and lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, until the age of 13, when he moved to Detroit. He got his start in broadcasting at a college radio station, where, as a journalism student, he would mop the floors and clean the windows and then sit behind the mic and deliver the news to listeners.

Allen started his television career in 1984 and worked at WJBK until he retired in 2012.
